Common Sense and the Cluverius

To the editor of the Alexandria Gazette
Permit me, in behalf of all good citizens,
to thank your Hickory Grove correspond
ent, j. S. E., for his excellent letter in your
issue of the 10Th. 1t is truly word spoken
in season. The due punishment of crime in
Virginia is already, as we all know, hating
and uncertain enough, and if the deliberate
judgment of courts is publicly to be set at
nought by individuals and newspapers, as
has recently been the case. the chances of
Improvement are poor indeed. j. S. E. is
quite right in attributing much of the COM
ment We have lately seen and heard on the
execution of Cluverius to "egregious vanity
and self-conceit."
The unhappy man had fair jury trial in
the first instance, and patient and consci
entious rehearing before the appellate court.
When his case was referred to the Govern.
or the latter not only failed to recognize
any new light upon it, but declared him
self fully satisfied of the guilt ofthe accused,
and so declined to interfere. Under these
circumstances, while every MAJ is entitled
to his opinion as to the guilt or innocence
of the prisoner, it would have been little
short of a public calamity, ifpopular clamor
at the last had availed to defeat the execu-
ton of the sentence l.. NJ. B.

An EXCITING SHOOTING SCRAPE.-A

James Bloxton, charged with assault and
battery, was tried and bailed for his appear.

Subsequently. Constable W. S. Monteith,
who had previously obtained warran: for
Bloxton's arrest but who was ignorant of
the action of Justice Fitzhugh, attempted 10
arrest Bloxton, who at first refused to 90
with the officer. but afterwards submitted
to arrest. Bloxton taking his gun with him
was attended by Constable Monteith and two
others when angry word passing between
them Monteith drew Colts army revolver
and fired one shot which took effect in
Bloxton's hip, the ball passing through his
heavy clothing, tearing away the skin and
falling down his pants leg. Bloxton n
attempted to return Monteith's fire. but his
gun went off prematurely, thus saving the
killing of the officer Monteith after firing
two more shots at Bloxton, which missed
him, was caught ny TWO companions and the
affair terminated without loss Of lie. The
case was investigated by Justice Fitghuch

Candidates III Fairfax.

The democracy of Fairfax certainly be.

the May election. There are candidates
out at this early day, and on the 18th inst,

crowd were candidates. The county COM
mittee have decided to hold a primary on
the 2Sth March, but unless some of the can
didate3 withdraw there will not be votes
enough to give some of them even a compii-
mentary vote. There are three candidates for
sheriff three for circuit clerk one each for
county clerk and attorney for the Common
wealth two for commissioner of revenue
on the south side and seventeen on the
north side. There seems to be no opposi.
ton to Major Chichester for treasurer.
There are six msgisterial districts in the
county, and in addition to the above men
toned Offices each district will elect three
magistrates, three road commissioners, a
member of the board of supervisors, con.
stable and an overseer for the poor. In all
sixty officers are to be elected, and on an
average ten candidates for each Office, six
hundred patriots anxious TO sacrifice them
selves land al of their relatives) upon the
altar of their county. SO you see that in
the primary if some don't withdraw, where
in the mischief are the votes to come from

that can bring us any good just now is an
aggravated epidemic of the humps or mea-
sizes among the candidates. Owing to the
large number of candidates the corn crop in

rhc Cnsc of George VI. Balm. Jr.

AS stated in yesterdays GAZETTE George
NJ. Balm, IT., Of Norfolk, cashier of the late
Exchange National Bank, convicted of false
entries, was on that day sentenced to FIVE
years in the Albany penitentiary. He came
into court accompanied by his two sons.
Judges Bond and Hughes were on the bench.
Judge Crump, of Richmond, one of the coun-
sci for the accused, who was prevented from
attending the court at this city argued for an
arrest of Judgment on the ground that the
grand Jury which found the indictment was
Informal, and asked for division of opin-
ion, so as TO he able to give the accused an
opportunity TO bring his case before the SUI
preme Court. Judge Bond then read the
opinion of the court, and denied the motion,
Judge Hughes concurring. When Judge
Bond called on the accused to stand up and
asked him the usual questions as to why
Judgment should not be pronounced against
him, MIR. Balm arose and said Il have
nothing to say but what l have already
said. affirm that in conducting the affairs
of the bank my intentions were
honest and upright" Judge Bond
then read the sentence of the court.
1t is understand that writ ofhabeas cor
pus will be sued out before the Su-
preme Court, and Mr.. Richard Wake,
counsel for the accused, left last night for
Washington for that purpose The ground
of this action is that in consequence of an
there has really been no trial.
The marshal was requested 10 allow Balm to
remain at his home under guard until the
proposed action in the United States Su-
preme Court Is taken and decision given,
ard accordingly the prisoner was placed
in the custody of Two deputy marshals and
will be kept at hotel until the application
for the habeas corpus is heard from.

The accident created the widest excite

hundred people to the scene in short time.
The body of the dead man was carried into

A BIG CoNTRAcT.-The Knights of La.
Dor of Brooklyn, n. Y, have taken the init
atory steps in movement which promises
no less than battle for recognition from
the national government. Late yesterday
a man walked down the main street Of the
Brooklyn navy.yard and entered the Office
of The equipment officer, Capt. Whiting.
To the official he refused his name, but said:
81 am from branch of the knights" and
handed Capt. Whiting paper bearing set of
grievances dated November &c, 1856. The
representative said: 81 know nothing about
how you conduct things. | was only sent
by the order to submit the grievances"
"You can return to your order" answer
ed the officer. "and tell them that those
grievances are set of lies throughout"
Capt. Whiting then went up into the
sail loft and, calling the. men about him,
said: IF any man has a grievance, he
should come TO me and not waste time going
10 the Knights of Labor, for the Govern
ment would not recognize them" 1t is well
known that nearly every man employed in
the navy yard belongs to the knights.
